You could operate your own server or ask an operator to create
statistics for you.
Some also operate innreport and publish the contents, e.g. https://www.eternal-september.org/stats/index.html https://news.nk.ca/
If those statistics are good for you, you can search the web for "Daily Usenet report"
I'm looking for ideas on how to get statistics for a specific Usenet
group without the necessity of downloading all messages.
For example, I'm interested in stats like the number of messages
in the last month, the number of unique users over a month, etc.

I just posted a perl script to comp.os.linux.advocacy that
tallies posts from posters in a given group for a
given Date: regex. It doesn't download any articles, just
uses xover.
It's a work in progress, but it shows how to do it
using the NNTP "xover" command.
Right now, it only looks at the last 10000 articles in a group. If
I can find a parsedate for perl that understands the Usenet date format,
I'd have it do a binary search with multiple xover commands to find
the first article in a given period.
